Vicky Pattison’s Devastating Passport Saga Grounds Her Wedding Preparations –
Passport Troubles Lead to Heartbreak for Geordie Shore Star
Vicky Pattison, the former star of the hit reality show Geordie Shore, faced a devastating setback when she was barred from boarding a flight to Italy due to issues with her passport. The 36-year-old, who was planning to continue making wedding preparations ahead of her nuptials in September, was left in tears and outraged by the incident.
Damaged Passport Causes Airline Rejection
According to reports, Pattison’s passport had sustained some damage, which contravened the strict rules enforced by the airline, EasyJet. Despite having traveled extensively with the same passport throughout the year without any issues, the reality star was turned away from her flight, much to her dismay.
“Thought we were off to see our wedding venue today, we were so excited.. I rushed back from Newcastle, packed at midnight last night and jumped into bed and got three hours sleep… But I didn’t mind because we were going for our menu tasting @ercan_ram,” Pattison lamented in a heartfelt Instagram post.
Heartbreak and Frustration Shared on Social Media
Vicky Pattison was devastated to see her party, which included her wedding planner, assistant, and florist, head off to Italy without her. She took to social media to express her frustration, revealing that a “cheeky little Milo butt” (her dog) had chewed the corner of her passport, leading to the airline’s decision to deny her boarding.
“Only to have the @easyiet staff turn me away.. I’ve been travelling with my passport all year and no one’s said anything, but it’s definitely well travelled to be fair. Company policy is company policy and I get it, I’m just beyond gutted you know??” Pattison wrote.
The reality star’s disappointment was palpable as she shared the wasted time, money, and excitement that had been built up for the trip. “My wedding planner, her assistant, my florist, everyone are all heading out… And I’m just heading home… to have a really good cry I think. All the wasted money, how hard it was for me to get the time off, how excited we were, how I’ve wasted everyone’s time.. I’m just really sad I think,” she lamented.
Passport Damage and Airline Policy Clash
Pattison shared a photo of the damage to her passport, acknowledging that she was unsure if the extent of the damage was severe enough to warrant the airline’s decision. “This is what was wrong with my passport for everyone asking, in fairness, I don’t know if that is really bad or not, I’ve just not had anyone ever tell me it was before.. cheeky little milo butt,” she wrote.
The reality star then filled out an online form, explaining the situation and how her dog had chewed the corner of her passport. She accompanied this with a caption directed at EasyJet, stating, “@easyjet you destroyer of dreams you.”
“It’s understandable that airlines have strict policies in place to ensure the integrity of travel documents, but these situations can be incredibly frustrating for passengers, especially when there’s a personal story behind the damage. While Vicky Pattison may have been turned away due to airline policy, her heartbreak and disappointment are palpable, and her experience highlights the need for a more compassionate approach in such scenarios.” – Travel Expert
